About 10 years ago, the Canadian dollar was the butt of most American jokes, because USD$1 was about CAD$0.56. Your dollar was worth nearly twice what ours was worth. However, in the last 8 years or so, the Canadian dollar has risen in value significantly, to the pont where USD$1 is ~CAD$0.88.
So yes, your dollar is worth ours, but not by nearly as much as it used to.
I'm getting back $2500. My choices are:
1) Save it and live on it till I get a job (hopefully soon), then worry after that
2) Pay to have my Wisdom teeth removed, if I don't have a job by June
I'm sure it'll be one of those.
Go with option one. I'd recommend finding a job that has medical benefits so they can help cover the cost of getting your wisdom teeth pulled.
Well, I have to get them out ASAP, so I don't have a chance to be picky. I just have to hope that I can find a job with medical benefits.
